  • Fender's proving ground?
Color: Flat White Style: Active Jazz Bass
Squire has come a long way. Their willingness to take chances that the parent company shies away from pays off again. I have a two basses from the Vintage Modified line and they are awesome. Now add two Contemporaries to the list. Fresh out of the box the set ups were spot on. The tones are great and they still achieve the vintage sound, but also can hit some modern crispness as well. UPDATE: I did get crazy good deals on a couple of these. I got the passive in red and the active in white. Both are great and worth the money, especially the active model. The passive was a nice deal too. I wish more Fender basses came with a painted headstock. The rosewood and other dark woods look out of place without it. Squire changes its models often so get these before they are gone! ... show more

  • Excellent bass!
Color: Flat White Style: Active Jazz Bass
I recently ordered a Squire Telecaster and I could not get the intonation set to save my life. It is currently in the shop getting some work done as there was a issue with the nut. So more money I am spending on that inexpensive guitar with great reviews. :/ But this bass is so frigging perfect right out of the box! I mean, I have been playing bass for 30 years and adjust necks, intonation, string height, etc. and I have never had one come as perfect as this one. Well, maybe the Fender Aerodyne did. I am blown away. I love the thick maple neck and the weight. I will say the treble and bass boost knob was loose, but just a quick tightening and I am in love. :-) ... show more

  • Sometimes it’ll pay off....
Color: Flat White Style: Active Jazz Bass
I had a Squier that an ex-girlfriend bought me about twenty years ago and I never really enjoyed it. So I was hesitant to get another, especially seeing the price jump they took. But I figured what the @$&?, I’ll give it a go. I was planning on upgrading everything on whatever bass I decided on anyways. I’m extremely happy that I bought it. It was playable almost right out the box, I only had to do a minor adjustment to the setup and some light dressing of the fret ends. A month later, after I changed the bridge, tuner/machine heads and all hardware, it’s playing well above it’s price bracket. At some point I may change pickups and the electronics, but honestly the pickups are good... Two thumbs up and a smile with teeth.... ... show more

  • Great value for great instrument
Color: Flat White Style: Active Jazz Bass
After a good experience with a Squier strat, I tried the bass. Only needed some slight adjustment out of box but otherwise a nice piece of work.
